Nom de Plume

The heavy cloak of anonymity,
wrapped warm and thick around me
gives me freedom to breathe
and courage to be myself
within my cloak, I am safely naked
without it, my hardened armor
makes it difficult to move
and impossible to express myself
as I truly am:

broken, strong, and merrily anonymous

poets have that luxury...don't need the fig leaf...just the leafs, pages on which to express...

baring themselves of whatever it is through words...running naked through the pages of what they write.

an exhilarating freedom...

[Gaia Octavia]

I wholeheartedly agree ☺
